Definitions

  • the invention relates to a guide sleeve with an integrated seal for the clutch release bearing of a transmission, comprising a pipe socket surrounding an input shaft of the transmission with a radial spacing on the circumference and a fastening flange fixed to the pipe socket, the pipe socket on the side facing the outer wall of the transmission having a substantially Z-shaped shape Cross section, wherein the Z-shaped cross section is formed by a radially inner first axial leg and a radially outer second axial leg and wherein the first and the second axial leg are connected to each other by a radial leg, the seal on the side facing the input shaft to be sealed is provided with at least one dynamically stressed first sealing lip and is fixed to a stiffening ring made of a non-creeping material and wherein the stiffening ring is held in the pipe socket under radial prestress is.
  • Such a guide sleeve is known from EP-A-0 336 843 A1.
  • the seal comprises a stiffening ring with a substantially T-shaped cross-section, the elastomeric material of the seal being fixed to the radial projection of the stiffening ring.
  • the stiffening ring In the axial direction, on the one hand, the stiffening ring is arranged under radial prestress within the second axial leg of the guide sleeve, the stiffening ring in the axial direction, on the other hand, being designed as a centering collar for centering the guide sleeve on a gearbox housing.
  • the seal has a dynamically stressed sealing lip, which is enclosed on the outside in the radial direction by an annular spiral spring is. At an axial distance adjacent to the dynamically stressed sealing lip, a further sealing lip is provided on the side facing away from the transmission in order to keep contaminants away from the dynamically stressed sealing lip.
  • Another guide sleeve is known from EP-A-0 301 965 A1.
  • the known guide sleeve for the clutch release bearing of a motor vehicle transmission shows a fastening flange for fastening the guide sleeve to the outer surface of a transmission housing wall, the fastening flange being arranged in the same radial plane as a pipe section which receives the sealing ring.
  • the sealing ring is arranged on a pipe section extending in the radial direction and thus relaxation phenomena of the elastomeric material are promoted, which can lead to leaks in the area of the dynamic seal.
  • the invention has for its object to effect an improved dynamic sealing of the input shaft by a more stable fixing of the seal within the pipe socket and at the same time to statically seal the outer wall of the transmission during a long period of use.
  • the seal has a Z-shaped profile which is adapted to the pipe socket and is statically stressed on the side facing the outer wall of the transmission with at least one axially protruding in the direction of the outer wall and can be brought into sealing engagement therewith second sealing lip is provided that the first and the second sealing lip are integrally fixed to each other on the stiffening ring and that the stiffening ring is held in the first axial leg.
  • the first and second sealing lips being integrally merged into one another on a Z-shaped stiffening ring made of a non-creeping material, for example metal, and this is under radial prestress from the first Axial leg of the pipe socket, which is preferably also made of a metallic material, is enclosed, there is a stable spatial assignment of the sealing lips in relation to the surfaces to be sealed and the pipe socket. It is also an advantage that in the case of radial deflection movements of the input shaft to be sealed, the seal on the stiffening ring is only loaded under pressure.
  • the stiffening ring can touch the radial leg and the axial preload.
  • the axial preload is generated by the fact that the statically stressed second sealing lip is elastically deformed when the guide sleeve is mounted on the end wall of the transmission, so that the stiffening ring, which is arranged on the side of the second sealing lip opposite the end wall, on the radial leg of the clutch guide sleeve is created.
  • the sealing lip may at least partially be completely covered by the second axial leg, the second axial leg appropriately touching the outer wall of the transmission in the region of its end face.
  • the second axial limb requires, on the one hand, protection of the second sealing lip from external influences and, on the other hand, protection of the second sealing lip from excessive pressure in the axial direction.
  • the assembly of the guide sleeve is considerably simplified in that it is screwed onto the outer wall of the gear unit until the end face of the second axial leg lies against the outer wall of the gear unit.
  • the second sealing lip protruding axially over the end face of the second axial leg before assembly then touches the outer wall of the transmission under a predetermined axial pressure.
  • the pipe socket and the fastening flange can be formed in one piece. In addition to being easier to manufacture due to fewer parts that have to be assembled, the assembly is simplified.
  • An improved static seal can be achieved in that the second sealing lip with a radially adjacent additional sealing lip delimits a gap which is provided with a grease filling.
  • a particularly stable and precise assignment of the seal within the pipe socket can be achieved in that the ratio of the axial expansion of the seal to the radial expansion is 1: 1 to 1: 0.25. Signs of tilting when the input shaft to be sealed is displaced are not to be feared by this configuration. Because the radial Expansion is at most as great as the axial expansion of the seal, but preferably significantly less, results in a particularly long guidance of the dynamically stressed first sealing lip within the radially inner first axial leg, so that manufacturing-related tolerances of the pipe socket do not have a negative influence on the properties of use the guide sleeve. A particularly high degree of dimensional accuracy of the first axial leg in relation to the radial leg is therefore not necessary, as a result of which the guide sleeve can be manufactured more simply and economically.
  • the dynamically stressed first sealing lip can be delimited by intersecting conical surfaces, the conical surface arranged on the side facing the medium to be sealed enclosing a larger angle with the longitudinal axis of the guide sleeve than the conical surface on the axially opposite side. This configuration brings about a return flow effect of the medium to be sealed in the direction of the space to be sealed and a constant renewal of the lubricating film between the first sealing lip and the shaft to be sealed by constant circulation of the lubricant.
  • the dynamically stressed first sealing lip can be assigned a protective sealing lip on the side facing away from the space to be sealed, which prevents the first sealing lip from being exposed to pollutant particles that reduce the service life.
  • the radial distance between the inner diameter of the first sealing lip and the pipe socket is 0.25 to 1 times as large as the axial extension of the stiffening ring the first Axial leg opposite side.
  • a small radial distance between the input shaft and the pipe socket requires a dimensionally stable design of the seal even when the input shaft is displaced in the axial direction, for example caused by thermal expansion.
  • the spatial assignment of the dynamically stressed first sealing lip does not change its position with respect to the surface of the shaft to be sealed, so that the sealing properties are always constant, for example a constant return flow effect during the intended use.
  • the guide sleeve according to the invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. This shows the individual components to be taken into account, partly in a schematic representation.
  • the guide sleeve 1 shows a guide sleeve 1 with an integrated seal 2, which is used in the area of the clutch release bearing of a transmission, for example for motor vehicles.
  • the guide sleeve 1 comprises a pipe socket 4, which surrounds an input shaft 3 of the transmission on the circumference at a radial distance.
  • the gear not shown here, is flanged to the guide sleeve 1 on the side 16 facing the medium to be sealed.
  • the pipe socket 4 and the mounting flange 5 are integrally formed into one another and consist in this embodiment a deep-drawn sheet.
  • the pipe socket 4 comprises a radially inner first axial leg 6 and a radially outer second axial leg 7, which are connected to one another via a radial leg 8.
  • the radially inner first axial leg 6 surrounds the stiffening ring 11 under radial prestress, the stiffening ring 11 touching the pipe socket 4 in the area of its axial and in the area of its radial extent.
  • the seal 2 is held by a frictional connection between the stiffening ring 11 and the first axial leg 6.
  • the seal 2 comprises a dynamically stressed first sealing lip 9 which dynamically seals the input shaft 3 to be sealed.
  • two statically stressed second sealing lips 10, 12 are arranged, which are associated with one another at a radial distance, the gap 13 formed by the radial distance between the second sealing lip 10 and the additional sealing lip 12 being filled with grease .
  • the manufacture of the claimed guide sleeve 1 is particularly simple, since it consists of only two parts to be fixed together.
  • the pipe socket 4 with the one-piece fastening flange 5 forms in the area of the first axial leg 6 the receptacle for the seal 2, in which the first sealing lip 9 and the second sealing lip 10 are fixed in one piece and merged onto a stiffening ring 11.
  • the ratio of the axial expansion to the radial expansion is 1: 1 to 1.0.25, preferably 1: 0.75 to 1: 0.5, an exact assignment which is always constant during the intended use is constant conditional between the individual parts of the guide sleeve 1.
  • the second axial leg 7 completely covers the statically stressed second sealing lip in this exemplary embodiment, so that mechanical damage to the second sealing lip 10 can be reliably avoided.
  • the second axial leg 7 is arranged such that it rests against the outer wall of the transmission at a predetermined elastic preload of the second sealing lip 10 and thereby an even greater deformation , possibly overstressing the second sealing lip 10, prevented.
  • the axial extent of the seal 2 is twice as large as the radial extent.
  • the pipe socket 4 of the guide sleeve 1 is shown as a single part, which is integrally formed with the mounting flange 5.
  • the mounting flange 5 has three evenly distributed recesses for attachment to the outer wall of the transmission housing.
  • the radially outer, second axial leg 7 of the pipe socket 4 completely covers the statically stressed second sealing lip 10 radially on the outside and thereby protects it from harmful mechanical influences.
